1. retroversion

   Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position. This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on. As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axes. The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal. Additionally, for some animals such as invertebrates, some terms may not have any meaning at all; for example, an animal that is radially symmetrical will have no anterior surface, but can still have a description that a part is close to the middle ("proximal") or further from the middle ("distal"). International organisations have determined vocabularies that are often used as standard vocabularies for subdisciplines of anatomy, for example, Terminologia Anatomica for humans, and Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria for animals. These allow parties that use anatomical terms, such as anatomists, veterinarians, and medical doctors to have a standard set of terms to communicate clearly the position of a structure.

   Retroversion generally refers to turning or tilting backward. In a medical context, it may refer to the tipping or displacement of an organ to a direction contrary to its normal orientation, for instance, retroversion of the uterus. In linguistics, it describes a phonetic phenomenon where a sound is pronounced with the tongue drawn back from its normal position. It may also refer to the return to earlier practices, policies, etc., in cultural or societal contexts. The specific implications of retroversion are influenced by the context in which it's used.
